China's largest commercial drone manufacturer DJI, announced the launch of Osmo, the world's first fully integrated and stabilized handheld 4K camera, on Wednesday.

Using the company's signature three-axis gimbal stabilization technology, Osmo eliminates the shake of traditional handheld devices, creating stable photos and videos.

"With Osmo, we have created a camera specifically designed to capture a smooth moving image regardless of filming conditions." said Frank Wang, DJI CEO and founder.

Users can view live images of what the camera sees, adjust settings and control smart filming functions including panorama, long exposure and slow motion.

"Traditional handheld cameras are either shaky or require bulky stabilizers that are difficult to set up," said Paul Pan, DJI's senior product manager. "The Osmo moves the experience of handheld filmmaking from capturing what happened, to sharing expressive, smooth video that shows what an experience was like".

Shenzhen-based DJI's global operation spans North America, Europe and Asia and its products have been chosen by customers in more than 100 countries and applied in film, advertising, construction, firefighting, farming and many other industries.

The Osmo is available for pre-order online priced 3,999 yuan on the Chinese mainland and will begin shipping October 15.
